[Chorus]
And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for
King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once, you're all I want, I'll never let you go
King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa

[Post-Chorus]
And all at once, I've been waiting, waiting
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa
And all at once, you are the one, I have been waiting, waiting
Body and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once

[Verse 2]
Late in the night, the city's asleep
Your love is a secret I'm hoping, dreaming, dying to keep
Change my priorities
The taste of your lips is my idea of luxury

[Chorus]
And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for
King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once, you're all I want, I'll never let you go
King of my heart, body, and soul, ooh whoa

[Post-Chorus]
And all at once, I've been waiting, waiting
Ooh whoa, ooh whoa
And all at once, you are the one, I have been waiting (waiting), waiting (waiting)
Body and soul, ooh whoa
And all at once

About “King of My Heart”

“King of My Heart” was first teased on Taylor’s “…Ready for it?” music video on October 26th, 2017. In the video, Taylor hinted at the song’s title with a red graffiti crowned heart, which was in the background on a wall.

References to losing various kingdom related things are seen all throughout reputation. In “Look What You Made Me Do”, Taylor talks about losing her kingdom.

My castle crumbled overnight
I brought a knife to a gunfight
They took the crown, but it’s alright

Although she has lost in the past, it looks like Taylor has found a totally different kingdom in this song. This kingdom is one that is more personal and intimate, one in which a new romantic interest begins to rule her “heart, body, and soul.” Likewise, although she lost her crown in “Call It What You Want”, she still has a totally different crown to offer her lover, giving this song it’s namesake— “King of My Heart”. A crown that seemingly means more to her than any crown from before.

What have the artists said about the song?

“I think it’s really interesting when people talk about their love stories. Like when you guys blog about like, ‘me and my husband, me and my boyfriend,’ or just anybody talking about how they fell in love. There seems to be these definitive phases, and it doesn’t matter how long that phase lasts, there seems to be a moment when you knew it transitioned into the next phase. People will be like, ‘Oh my god, we were friends for six years, and there was this moment, and we knew, and then it changed. Then there was a moment and it got deeper, and then there was a moment and we knew. Or, like, I saw this person and there was this moment, and we knew. Everybody has a different story with how they connect with someone else. And what I find interesting are the moments where it switches, because you always hope that that switch is going to move you forward and not backward. Because, it can happen both ways. It can happen either way.”

I’ve always wanted to structure a song where each individual section of the song sounded like a move forward in the relationship, but still be listenable. So, I wanted the verse to seem like its own phase of a relationship, the pre-chorus to sound like its own phase of a relationship, and the chorus to sound like its own phase of a relationship. And I wanted them to have their own identity, but seem like they were getting deeper and more fast-paced as the song went on. So finally, I was able to achieve that in a song."
